Quotes to identify<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/code>The more pity, that fools may not speak
\nwisely what wise men do foolishly.<\/p>\n

if I be foiled, there is but one
\nshamed that was never gracious; if killed, but one
\ndead that was willing to be so<\/p>\n

What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue?<\/p>\n

<\/code>But is all this for your father?
\n<\/code>No, some of it is for my child’s father.<\/p>\n

Within these ten days if that thou be’st found
\nSo near our public court as twenty miles,
\nThou diest for it.<\/p>\n

A gallant curtle-axe upon my thigh,
\n<\/code>A boar-spear in my hand;<\/p>\n

Now go we in content
\nTo liberty and not to banishment.<\/p>\n

<\/code>Sweet are the uses of adversity,
\nWhich, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
\nWears yet a precious jewel in his head;
\nAnd this our life exempt from public haunt
\n<\/code>Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
\nSermons in stones and good in every thing.<\/p>\n

O Phebe, Phebe, Phebe!<\/p>\n

Who calls?<\/p>\n

Your betters, sir.<\/p>\n

Else are they very wretched.<\/p>\n

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything<\/p>\n

101<\/a> <\/code>“If a hart do lack a hind,
\n<\/a>102 <\/code>Let him seek out Rosalind.
\n103<\/a> <\/code>If the cat will after kind,
\n<\/a>104 <\/code>So be sure will Rosalind.
\n105<\/a> <\/code>Wint’red garments must be lined,
\n<\/a>106 <\/code>So must slender Rosalind.
\n107<\/a> <\/code>They that reap must sheaf and bind;
\n<\/a>108 <\/code>Then to cart with Rosalind.
\n<\/a>109 <\/code>Sweetest nut hath sourest rind,
\n<\/a>110 <\/code>Such a nut is Rosalind.
\n111<\/a> <\/code>He that sweetest rose will find
\n<\/a>112 <\/code>Must find love’s prick and Rosalind.”<\/p>\n

<\/code>O, yes, I heard them all, and more too;
\n<\/code>for some of them had in them more feet
\nthan the verses would bear.<\/p>\n

<\/code>Is it a man?<\/p>\n

<\/code>And a chain, that you once wore, about his neck.
\n<\/a><\/code>
\n<\/code>God buy you: let’s meet as little as we can.<\/p>\n

<\/code>I do desire we may be better strangers.<\/p>\n

<\/code>You have a nimble wit: I think ’twas made
\nof Atalanta’s heels. Will you sit down with
\nme? And we two will rail against our mistress
\nthe world and all our misery.<\/p>\n

<\/code>Your accent is something finer than you could
\npurchase in so removed a dwelling.<\/p>\n

O dear Phebe,
\nIf ever,\u00e2\u20ac\u201das that ever may be near,\u00e2\u20ac\u201d
\nY<\/code>ou meet in some fresh cheek the power of fancy,
\nThen shall you know the wounds invisible
\nThat love’s keen arrows make.<\/p>\n

But till that time
\nCome not thou near me: and when that time comes,
\nAfflict me with thy mocks, pity me not;
\nAs till that time I shall not pity thee.<\/p>\n

For I must tell you friendly in your ear,
\nSell when you can: you are not for all markets:<\/p>\n

<\/code>Dead Shepherd, now I find thy saw of might,
\n<\/code>‘Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?’<\/p>\n

You have simply misused our sex in your love-prate:<\/p>\n

<\/code>that blind rascally boy that abuses every one’s eyes
\nbecause his own are out, let him be judge how deep I
\n<\/code>am in love.<\/p>\n

<\/code>“Art thou god to shepherd turn’d,
\n<\/code>That a maiden’s heart hath burn’d?”
\nCan a woman rail thus?
\n<\/a> <\/code>
\nCall you this railing?<\/p>\n

<\/code>Will the faithful offer take
\n<\/code>Of me and all that I can make;
\nOr else by him my love deny,
\nAnd then I’ll study how to die.”<\/p>\n

<\/code>Twice did he turn his back and purposed so;
\nBut kindness, nobler ever than revenge,
\nAnd nature, stronger than his just occasion,
\nMade him give battle to the lioness,<\/p>\n

This was not counterfeit: there is too great
\ntestimony in your complexion that it was a
\npassion of earnest.<\/p>\n

<\/code>Is’t possible that on so little acquaintance you
\nshould like her? that but seeing you should love
\n<\/code>her? and loving woo? and, wooing, she should
\ngrant? and will you persever to enjoy her?<\/p>\n

for your brother and my sister no
\nsooner met but they looked, no sooner looked but
\nthey loved, no sooner loved but they sighed,
\nno sooner sighed but they asked one another the
\n<\/code>reason, no sooner knew the reason but they sought
\nthe remedy; and in these degrees have they made a
\npair of stairs to marriage which they will climb<\/p>\n

Why then, tomorrow I cannot serve your turn for
\nRosalind?<\/p>\n

<\/code>I can live no longer by thinking.<\/p>\n

<\/code>Good shepherd, tell this youth what ’tis to love.<\/p>\n

If there be truth in sight, you are my daughter.<\/p>\n

f there be truth in sight, you are my Rosalind.<\/p>\n

<\/code>I will not eat my word, now thou art mine;
\nThy faith my fancy to thee doth combine.<\/p>\n

If I heard you rightly,
\nThe duke hath put on a religious life
\nAnd thrown into neglect the pompous court?<\/span><\/b>
